Noticing More: TOTAN IN KYOTO

We really like the stripes on this photo. Deceptively simple, it’s very much a case of the more you look; the more you realise. The stripes and shadows from the textural folds of the corrugated iron sheeting, the shadows of the cables - the reflection in the window!

This photo was sent to us by @ihendersuk (Instagram) and was taken in Kyoto in 2015. in his own words”

“At first, it was the deep red colour that caught my attention; but the more I looked the more I saw lines – and stripes – cutting across each other in all directions.”

Aside from the beautiful stripes, this also appeals to our love for corrugated iron. Or as Japanese call it; “totan”. If you are interested, wrote about it previously here.
